Accreditation

Unitek College's Fremont Campus, as well as Concord, Sacramento, South San Francisco, Hayward, and San Jose Campuses are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. ACCSC's scope of recognition with the U.S. Department of Education includes the accreditation of postsecondary, non-degree-granting institutions and degree-granting institutions that are predominantly organized to educate students for occupational, trade and technical careers.

Unitek College is proud to announce that the baccalaureate degree in nursing program at Unitek College is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation). Unitek College is honored that the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) has recognized and accredited our RN to BSN programs. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is an autonomous accrediting agency that is officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education that contributes to the improvement of the public's health. The CCNE accreditation is an important evaluation which validates Unitek College's quality of education to the alumni adding credibility and respect.

To evaluate the success of a nursing program in achieving its mission, goals, and expected outcomes.

To assess the extent to which a nursing program meets accreditation standards.

To inform the public of the purposes and values of accreditation and to identify nursing programs that meet accreditation standards.

To foster continuing improvement in nursing programs – and, thereby, in professional practice.
